Drove Charleston to Greenville (200 miles on interstate) last week with a full bed (king mattress shown on the right). Gear tunnel and frunk were also fully loaded.

Not even a hint of problems, made it to

the destination with 80 miles to spare.

Someone decided to put the R1T to the ultimate pickup truck test and loaded a pallet of concrete mix into its bed

Someone decided to put the R1T to the ultimate pickup truck test and loaded a pallet of concrete mix into its bed. But the maximum payload capacity is 1,760 lb, while the bags filled with construction material weigh around 3,400 lb.

That's why the photos show the EV squatting like there's no tomorrow.

This reminded me of my one use of the truck for a heavy load I did. We found a contractor that had some excess inventory of pavers for a DIY project at a really good price and went to see if we wanted them. They were on 3 different pallets. I think he said a full pallet was around 4k lbs, and each pallet had anywhere from 33-50% remaining. The first picture is the first day's haul we took in the bed. I guesstimated it was anywhere from 1600-2000 lbs, so not that far over. Certainly nothing like this brave owner did. Definitely did a quick squat but leveled pretty quickly. I was honestly more scared watching it get loaded with the forklift with about 1-2 inches of clearance on either side. Luckily he was among the most skilled forklift operators I've ever witnessed and was in and out like a surgeon. The drive home was with the tailgate up. We made the return trip the next day with a dirt cheap U-Haul trailer to finish the job. The real fun started after the realization that you don't have a forklift at the house, so they were unloaded one...by...one.

Here is a pic for everyone... FYI it's a thick mattress

Success! It's not pretty, but we got it done! King Mattress and both box springs, the rails wouldn't fit in gear tunnel so squeezed them into the back seat area. It was a tight fit.

I ended up in getting one of the Loadd Sheett (long version )

Works great for keeping 12ft secure; also works great for things like plywood / drywall / server racks, whatever you want to haul that's too long.

I recommend adding on the flag option as well; make it super convenient.

and comically on their page if you look at the images you'll see a rivian with 12' lumber:

I knew from the beginning I would need it. I haul 10ft material weekly for work. I just got creative and retro mod a rack on the back. I have Had it this way for 2 years now

I have the roof racks but they seem rather useless for practical purposes. Has anyone figured out how to haul 12’ lumber with the R1T? What’s your hack for securing things to the racks?

Lay it flat, strap it down, and put a flag on it. Yep, those are 12 ft. 2x4's

Lumber, concrete debris, dirty diapers, gravel, crane equipment, waffles.... It does it all!

Damn! You're braver than I am. Are those 16-footers?! That doesn't look like it would stay put on my hill (15% grade).

12's so only a 5' overhang ?

This is what I’ve been wanting to do. Can you provide details?

Seems like a genius idea. Kinda pricey but might pick one up. I’m looking to haul 16’ 2x6 and I doubt this would work for that though.

I hauled 2 16’ 2x10s and just used ratchet straps up to the rear rail tie downs. I also went back inside and bought a 27 gallon tote to set on the end in the bed and strapped that down to the lower anchor points in the bed to hold that end down. I had another strap wrapped around that end under the tote to prevent lateral movement as well as one wrapped around on the tailgate. Everything worked just fine for my trip home. I also hauled it at 9:30pm so there weren’t many cars out and about.
